Leon Black Skips Epstein Deposition, Sues Congress

Establishment-critical narrative

With all the evidence against Black, choosing not only to avoid an interview, but to sue Congress to prevent one, is a stunning example of buying yourself time. A GOP-led committee is asking straightforward questions about $170 million paid to a convicted sex offender, and Black responded by running to federal court. From the NDAs and money to the abrupt exit from his June interview, none of this is the behavior of someone with nothing to hide.
